I made my daughter the perfect fitted black t-shirt <\/a>to her specifications a few months ago, so now it was time to make one to my specs. This is about the billionth bondi t-shirt I’ve made, but maybe the first with this combination of adjustments: size 6p with broad and sloped shoulder adjustment, wide screwp neck, waist cut 2.5 inches above hip length. I used less than 1 yard of the black Santa Cruz<\/a> cotton lycra from CaliFabrics that I used for my daughter’s shirt. This length works really well for me for a shirt I’m not going to tuck in. The size 4p also works for me in this pattern (see the recent turquoise DBP<\/a> shirt I made in 4p), but I like the extra bit of ease with the size 6p in this fabric. This was a very fast make, even though I took the time to convert to cover-stitch mode for the sleeve and bottom hems. The Santa Cruz fabric is really nice, a bit more polished than some of the generic CL fabrics I’ve bought. However, I have an even nicer (and a bit more expensive) CL in my stash that I’m looking forward to trying for a long-sleeve t-shirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
